My Question or Issue

Is it possible to search by both (production)year and liked songs? I want to add music I already liked to a playlist by production years (for example 60's or 70's music). If I could filter, search or sort by year of the album I could create the playlists a lot faster. Now I have to search the album of the song ik like to view in what year it is produced to put it in the right playlist (which is a lot of work with 500 song i liked...). 

Things I've already tried:

- I already know it is possible to search by Year but than it is not possible to sort the list to songs I like. 

- It is not possible to search by year in the songs I like. 

- It is possible to use sort and filter options in the songs I like but I can't sort them by album year or filter at a specific year of production. 

 

Thanks for your help!

Hey @RvV,

Currently there isn't a way to sort search results by the release year, however we're always open to new ideas 🙂 The best way to get yours noticed and considered is if you create an idea for it in the Community by going here - that way, other users will also be able to vote for it.

 

The Idea Exchange is a great way for us to see what improvements our users would like to see and how many people support a specific idea. You can learn more about it here.

 

Hope this helps. Keep us posted if you have any questions.

Accepting a “wait for the solution” shouldn’t be marked as “the question having a solution”. That way both Spotify and members are fooled to believe nothing needs to be done. 

I’d like to see a receipt that a voted for suggestion actually are being brought into developers backlog. 

The question in particular, users dislike the fact that Spotify’s remastering year is set as initial production year. If I’m looking for an album from 1972, I don’t want your remastering year being the only way to sort albums/songs. 

Amen! I'm sick of albums from 1991 that, accordingly to Spotify, even had a remaster in 1991 too! As counterintuitive as Spotify can be, I think sometimes this is down to record labels too however.

Musician, and lover of music.
